Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, if it's not
I'm sorry, just let me know where I should post things like this to.
Right then, I downloaded the VMware RC2 image and loaded it up in
VMware player. Booted fine (and i like the boot time ;-) and thought
that I'd try the networking out. I was able to open up ibrowser and
download the mozilla control fine and browse like that to a few sites
(
getfirefox.com,
sf.net,
7-zip.org and
guildwars.com). I wanted to try
out Guild Wars (a DirectX MMORPG, very ambitious I know). I was able
to go to the site fine and download the client, however, when I went
to download 7-zip I was given a BSoD. I restarted and tried to
download firefox instead and install that. The download was fine
however part way through the install it just dropped out. I tried
again and the same thing happened. I then noticed the 'Get Firefox'
link in the start menu, which didn't do anything (just opened the
download window and sat there). I looked around the C: drive and
noticed that Firefox had installed the exe so I tried to run it but
didn't get anything. I closed the 'Get Firefox' window and tried that
again, same problem as before, this time though it wouldn't close.
Opened up task manager and saw 2 firefox.exe running so I tried to
kill them, this didn't worked. Tried to kill 'Get Firefox' process and
that worked, but then a few seconds after that I got another BSoD.
I've attached the vmware.log in case it's any use. The debug.txt file
is empty for some reason, so I've not attached that.
I'm going to try a few more things and I'll let you know what happens.
If this kind of feedback isn't useful let me know, or let me know
where to post it so it can become useful :-)
